A bill for an act relating to county and city regulation of pet licenses and fees.

SF 496 limits annual pet license fees charged by Iowa counties and cities to $40 or less. It requires all revenue from these fees to be used exclusively for animal control and welfare services. The bill also prohibits counties and cities from requiring veterinarians to share pet vaccination records during licensing, though pet owners must still provide vaccination proof themselves. This directly affects local governments setting pet license fees and pet owners applying for licenses. The law aims to standardize fees, ensure funds support animal services, and protect veterinary-client privacy.
